A: Any code used by users is only used within the framework of the functions described in the project and solutions, and is automatically deleted as its use ends, including upon expiration of licenses. We do not additionally analyze the uploaded code (unless requested by the user for network debugging and technical issues) and do not bear any responsibility to network users.
Q: What is your interest in funding and developing this research project?
A: Any developer knows perfectly well how much effort and time goes into developing various solutions, and having created these solutions, has an unconditional right to protect them. We use this technology for our own needs, developing secure solutions that effectively solve our tasks as developers. Open public beta testing of new technologies allows us to significantly improve technologies by expanding their functionality and implement new projects based on these technological solutions. Also, for the purpose of project self-financing and maintaining high network performance, we may add extended paid options over time.
Q: What is the difference in functionality between your published tools?
A: Python Obfuscator Online and Secure Python Code Manager Script both use the Alpha Beta Network cloud platform, but they are completely independent isolated solutions using different independent databases. Currently, Alpha Beta Network already has a very wide and flexible range of capabilities, and these published solutions allow using only a part of them within the open beta testing. Meanwhile, Secure Python Code Manager Script, working through the command line, has a wider range of capabilities, such as seamless updating of previously uploaded code, extending license validity periods, changing usage settings for previously issued licenses, viewing detailed information about service usage and each license. Subscribers to our Telegram channel (as verified users) will gain access to extended functions in the future, including using these tools. Local Python Code Protector Script allows developers to protect their intellectual property while enabling secure code distribution without requiring an internet connection for protected code execution. This script supports both Python source files (.py) and compiled Python files (.pyc). The Local Python Code Protector Script can also be effectively used to further protect licensed source code files created by the Alpha Beta Network cloud platform (more advanced and flexible source code protection solutions such as Python Obfuscator Online and Secure Python Code Manager Script). Multi-Version PYZ Builder Script integrates with the Local Python Code Protector Script to use previously compiled and protected .pyc files, adding layers of code obfuscation and encryption. The tool provides cross-platform compatibility and supports multiple Python versions (3.6+)
